night fight. real clashes. real differences. the early polls show a split decision. we're hearing a whole lot of praise for our friend and colleague, martha raddatz. she was the moderator last night from abc news. there he is, front and center. >> martha raddatz for president, right? vice president biden really brought the fight to the debate. calling ryan's statements a bunch of mularkey and a bunch of stuff. we're going to talk about it with our powerhouse contributors. nicolle wallace and dana brazon brazi brazile. and bianna will tell us about the google searches. >> a lot of online activity last night. it's "your voice, your vote." with just 25 days to go. abc's jon karl has all the highlights from danville, kentucky. no throat-clearing last night. these guys were going at it from the start. >> reporter: they sure were, george. this was a clash of ideas. a clash of styles. and i would say the liveliest

vice presidential debate we have ever seen. this one got personal. >> jack kennedy lowered taxes -- >> now, you're jack kennedy. >> reporter: barb after barb. >> i know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground. but i think people will be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other. >> well, don't take all of the four minutes then. >> reporter: biden was often dominant. maybe a little too dominant. republicans claimed he interrupted ryan 82 times. often breaking out in laughter. even when ryan was talking about iranian nukes. >> and all i have to point to -- >> reporter: biden was all-smiles when he accused ryan of basically not telling the truth. >> this is a bunch of stuff. look, here's the deal. >> what does that mean, a bunch of stuff? >> it's -- >> it's irish. >> we irish call it mularkey. >> reporter: they disagreed on virtually everything. from syria, to medicare. >> now, they have a new plan. trust me. it's not going to cost you

anymore. folks, follow your instincts on this. >> they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, turning medicare into a piggy bank for obama care. >> reporter: martha raddatz pressed both of them. challenging biden to explain the white house's shifting stories on the attack that killed the u.s. ambassador to libya. >> when people in the consulate first saw armed men attacking, there were no protests. why did that go on for weeks? >> that's what we were told by the intelligence community. >> it's indicative of a broader problem. that what we're watching on our tv screens is the unraveling of the obama foreign policy. >> reporter: score one for ryan there. but when ryan slammed the administration's $800 billion stimulus bill, biden was ready with this. >> sent me two letters saying, by the way, can you send me some stimulus money for companies here in the state of wisconsin. we sent millions of dollars. you know -- >> you did ask for stimulus money, correct?

>> sure he did. >> for two occasions, we advocated for constituents applying for grants. that's what we do. >> i love that. this is such a bad program. and he writes me a letter saying, the reason we need this stimulus, it will create growth and jobs. his words. >> reporter: unlike the president, biden slammed ryan over romney's infamous comments about the 47% of americans who don't pay income taxes. ryan turned it back on biden. >> i think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way. >> reporter: now, there will be a lot of discussion over who was stronger last night. biden or ryan. but i've got to tell you, around here, there was one clear consensus winner. and that was the moderator, martha raddatz, who taught the world what we all know around here, george. you don't mess with martha. >> that is for sure. >> it was a lively time. >> martha, congratulations. you did such a great job.

here's the question i really want to know. as the debate unfolded, was it the debate you prepared for? the one you saw in your head as you wrote the questions out? >> i think i was surprised that i got in as many follow-ups. and you've done this, george. you try to listen and you try to react to what they're saying. i had a lot of follow-ups and questions written. but when you're there and in the moment, you really have to go with what's happening. so, when they were talking to each other, when they were going after each other, you want to kind of step back from that. but yet, when i hear things, i thought, i've got to jump in there. >> and there was so much happening. it was moving so fast from the very beginning. i wonder if you have any insight into the personal dynamic of the two men from that close? >> well, that's a really interesting -- the dynamic because that table is very intimate. so, it's very different than the presidential debate last week, when they're up on the podium. that close to one another, and they're sort of going at each other and the laughter and some of the jabs at one another, it

felt way more personal just because of that intimate setting. >> i'll bet it did. they're so close to you right there. did they say anything to you after the debate? >> you know, i shook their hands after the debate. i saw both of them after the debate with their families, briefly. they both were very nice. they said you were tough but good job. and they seemed to enjoy themselves. >> i think that is exactly right. you seemed to enjoy yourself, as well. and you did a fantastic job. congratulations, martha. >> thank you very much. let's get more from our insiders right here, right now. nicolle wallace, you were behind the scenes four years ago with sarah palin, donna brazile with vice president gore. and the polls show a split decision. one overnight poll, giving a small edge to ryan. another one, a bigger edge to joe biden. one thing was clear. joe biden did what democrats wanted him to do last night. >> no question, george. joe biden came prepared. he came prepared to argue.

he came prepared to debate. and he came prepared to be joe biden. mularkey. i didn't know that word before. he took all of the issues that president obama left on the floor last week. and said, you know what? i'm going to take that straight to the romney/ryan ticket. he didn't hesitate to attack them on their so-called budget plan, their tax plan. he was also, at times, when i thought he would become defensive on foreign policy, joe biden showed once again, he has the experience and had the information. and details matter. and joe biden provided those, too. >> you saw the romney campaign zeroing in on the smiles and laughs from joe biden. >> an interesting bar for success. democrats feel because he restored what obama lost last week, got them back to equilibrium. but that doesn't stop any threat for the momentum that romney was able to create from last week's debate. from the romney side, they felt

they got their campaign in a good place last week. and paul ryan didn't do anything to jeopardize the forward motion they were able to put in place. >> the bottom line, how does this set the table for the presidential debate tuesday night? >> last week, mitt romney tried to pivot to the middle. joe biden pushed them right back to the far right where they've been all campaign season. next week, president obama has to keep mitt romney back in that extreme position. and once again, tell the american people we can move forward. >> i think there's some substance on the table now. i think president obama will have to answer a line of questioning that martha raddatz opened up about what really happened in benghazi. what the administration knows. and there's a window and a possibility that in 90 minutes, the public will really start to wrap their brain around the possibility that the administration either misled the public or that there was some colossal intelligence failure that will be a factor in these closing weeks of this campaign. >> nicolle wallace, donna brazile, thanks so much. a lot more on the campaign on "this week." let's go to amy.

>> it was a big night online. the events shaking things up on social media. and bianna golodryga is here to break down the numbers for us. lots of tweets last night. >> reporter: times have changed. we have the tv on and the twitter going. 3.7 million tweets last night. but the presidential debate, 10.5 million. as far as google searches throughout the night. biden, conflating. mularkey. who is winning the debate. a how old is paul ryan? paul ryan is 42 years old. biden is 69 years old, as well. and as far as the biggest moments of the night, we heard that jack kennedy moment, from biden channeling lloyd benson. 58,000 tweets per minute. and the cookie jar moment, in reference to medicare, that generated a lot of tweets. and then, tweets throughout the

night. >> laughing. >> mularkey. all these are in reference to joe biden. there's debate as to who won last night. i think we can agree that martha raddatz, hands down. >> yes. thanks so much, bianna. josh has the other top stories that are developing right now. josh, over to you. >> okay, amy. we're going to begin with the growing mystery of what happened to 10-year-old jessica ridgeway of colorado, who vanished on her way to school. what began as a search for this little girl is now a desperate hunt for her killer. abc's clayton sandell tells us how the fbi is hoping to break this case open. >> reporter: officers are searching fields, ravines and neighborhoods near where a body was discovered late wednesday. sources tell abc news, the remains belong to 10-year-old jessica ridgeway, who vanished a week ago, walking to school in nearby westminster. but a frustrating lack of suspects is now prompting

investigators to release a profile of who they believe committed this gruesome crime. >> that would be your boss, your friend, and ultimately could be your family member. >> reporter: the new profile by the behavioral analysis unit says the likely suspect is probably male. and may have missed work or suddenly left town. he may have already changed his appearance. or gotten rid of his car. abc news has learned investigators are focusing on cell phone towers near jessica's home, where her backpack was found, and where the remains were discovered. if a phone number registered at all three towers, it could led to a suspect. >> we all have children of her own. and it could have been our child. >> reporter: and this morning, the entire community remains on-edge. for "good morning america," clayton sandell, westminster, colorado. a dire warning from defense secretary leon panetta, calling this is a pre-9/11 moment. he urged leaders to beef up

defenses against computer hackers. he says that hackers in iran and china are becoming more sophisticated, making u.s. transportation, power and financial networks increasingly vulnerable. and the first lawsuit has been filed in connection with the meningitis outbreak. 14 people have died. 170 people have become sick in the 11 states you see highlighted. but 14,000 could still be at risk. federal and state officials in massachusetts say they lack clear authority to crack down on the pharmacy blames for the outbreak, even though safety concerns were raised in the past. and this year's nobel peace prize has been announced. and the winner is, the european union. the nobel committee praised the e.u. for six decades of peace, democracy and human rights. and finally, an eye-opening mystery in south florida. look at washed up at the beach

at pompano. an eye the size of a softball. here's the thing. marine biologists think it may be from a giant squid. they're keeping it on ice until someone can determine the species. but right now, something with the eyeball the size of a softball, is swimming around in the atlantic. and nobody knows what it is. >> and it can't see its way around. >> have fun with that, south florida. >> what does "sea rescue" think? >> i think something needs a "sea rescue." >> josh, thanks. now, to a shakeup at walmart. workers walked off the job this week. now, they're threatening a walkout on the super bowl of shopping days, black friday. abc's steve osunsami has the latest from atlanta. >> reporter: walmart workers may be known for their smiles. but these walmart associates are decidedly unhappy. >> i'll come back and they'll tell me, you're fired.

i said, what for? i didn't do anything. >> reporter: first, taking their grievance to the sidewalk outside the store. then, on to the walmart mothership in arkansas, where they were told we'll talk to you individually but not as a group. now, they're promising to walk out and picket on the holiest of days in retail. that magical friday after thanksgiving, when flat-screens sell out in 17 minutes. and walmart registers ring up a breathtaking 4,000 sales each second. outside los angeles, walmart associates greg and charlene fletcher say they want better play, health benefits for part-time employees. and most importantly, they want walmart to stop pushing out workers who threaten to unionize. >> they're so out of touch with their associates, they don't realize how many associates are unhappy. >> reporter: we talked with company managers, hurt and offended. telling us these are great jobs. that most of their 1.4 million workers are very happy. and that a few are threatening

to walk. >> we think there's a few associates that have some concerns. but they don't represent the views of the 1.3 million associates we have in the united states. >> reporter: but if it were possible, to shut walmart down on black friday, experts say it would be devastating. potentially, a $312 million hit on friday alone. >> for walmart to lose its most profitable day of the year, it would be devastating on black friday. and continue to be devastating on the days and possibly years ahead. >> reporter: which would, of course, be great news for target and costco. but with 4,000 walmart stores across the country, those workers would need a great deal of help to slow things down. george and amy? >> sure would. steve, thanks very much. now, to a follow-up on a story we brought you thursday. that baby walrus, rescued off the coast of alaska, waking up at his brand-new home for the first time this morning at the new york aquarium, after a cross-country commute. and abc's john muller was there for his big welcome. >> reporter: he's only 4 months

do so. the scrappy little fellow coming in as the perfect new yorker. it's amazing. >> reporter: mit will be quarantined for at least 30 days. visitors eager to welcome him may have to wait until next spring to meet the jowly giant. but mit is sure to be a hit. for "good morning america," john muller, abc news, new york. >> i can see the lines wrapped around to go and see him. >> who knew a walrus could be cuddly? >> and cute. >> they are. but when they get bigger, they get bigger. not so cuddly. >> that big. >> would not have survived in the wild. never mind. do you want to show our favorite video of the day? >> absolutely. when they get too big -- when they get too big, they do situps. >> what's happening? what's about to happen? >> you know what's happening? we're eating into sam's weather. >> that was just me waking up this morning. let's get to the boards. one or two things we want to

she testified she never thought macneill would leave his wife for her. but just weeks after she died, he moved willis in the house as the new nanny. in court, she was referred to as the nanny with benefits. not long after her testimony, the judge ordered the doctor to stand trial for first-degree murder. calling macneill's actions evidence of a guilty mind. macneill who made this 911 call, says he's innocent. that he tried to save his wife. >> he has done some got things in his life. >> reporter: but in a search warrant, investigators said the doctor intentionally overdosed his wife after she had plastic surgery. surgery he insisted she have. >> the state will need to show that there's some conduct on behalf of the defendant that links him to the murder. >> reporter: his daughters and other family members have consistently been a presence in

than 100 alleged client of alexis wright, asked the judge here to block the release of the names. >> releasing the list has the power to really destroy reputation. >> reporter: wright, a zumba dance instructor, is accused of running a prostitution ring from her kennebunk dance studio. outside of court tuesday, the 29-year-old refused to answer questions, after pleading not guilty to 106 counts, ranging from prostitution to invasion of privacy. this morning, abc news has learned as many as 45 men on the list have already been summoned. police claim this man, 57-year-old mark strong, was in charge of booking and screening wright's alleged clients. his lawyer admits, there is a list. but claims strong had nothing to do with it. >> there's policemen, firemen, accountants, tv personalities, lawyers. it runs the gamut of americana. >> reporter: according to court

documents, the landlord for wright's studio called police after hearing unusual sounds coming from her office. and seeing strange men come and go at all hours of the night. >> i thought she was a little -- i don't know. not risque. but flirtatious at times with a couple of the male participants of the class. >> reporter: some men allegedly paid big bucks for wright's services. >> $150. and one case was $1,500. >> reporter: prosecutors say wright recorded some of her encounters with the men. and say they have 100 hours of video evidence, which many fear could now ruin lives. and kennebunk is so small. with 100 names on the list, 1 out of every 30 men living here could have been a client of wright. according to the defense attorney of a prominent family with a compound the next town over, the bush family is not on the list. amy? >> they're in the clear. john schriffen, thanks for that.

let's bring in legal analyst, dan abrams. the attorney of one of the alleged johns wants that entire list. any chance the judge is going to go for that. >> the judge shouldn't suppress it. when adults are charged with crimes, it's public record. and if we're going to say, in this case, that their names shouldn't be released, why shouldn't other people who are charged with rape or financial crimes or other things that they certainly wouldn't want out there. their names shouldn't be released, either. i don't see why this case should be treated differently than any other case. >> and what is the likelihood that these johns will actually be punished? >> the punishment for this kind of crime is a fine. and i think they are going to pursue a lot of the johns in this case. a lot of time you hear people say why aren't they pursuing the johns? and why is it just the prostitutes? but this is a low-level misdemeanor. and you're talking about likelihood of a fine only. you hear from the lawyers,

they're more afraid of what the perception is going to be. >> the damaged reputation is going to be the most damage of all. most of the charges against alexis wright and mark strong, are they misdemeanors, as well? >> of the 106 charges, you have 103 misdemeanors here. only three felonies. and those relate not to prostitution but to theft and tax evasion. a lot of different charges here. these are the cases that tend to plead out. >> and tend to live on in the media. time, now, for the weather and sam champion. sam? >> amy, we're going to start with pictures out west. why don't we start with pasadena, california. well, la quinata/flintridge. not only do they have to clean up the hail. but they have flooding rains. creating a little mudflow down the streets of la quinata.
